Don't know where the name 'makro' came from though.
It's been around for a long time. My dad used to take me to Makro in South East London nearly 40 years ago, and it was well-established then.

Oh, I always thought you needed to own a business or have a registered company to shop (ie. buy things...?) at Makro, I think I read it from the (website?) but I'm not sure. I'm referring to that Makro in Chonburi (I think somewhere along Sukhumvit near Central Plaza). Maybe I will check it out since I'm bored of all the Big Cs and Lotuses...
Or is it that we can just browse, but can't purchase things without a registered company under your name? Edited by smint, 2009-11-11 14:54:59. #30

Hallo Smint,
as I wrote yesterday, you can buy there same as in other supermarkets. Just Macro has a slightly different range of products (no dress etc), more volume packs. But I don't understand, why don't you just go there by yourself and look around? #31

Ah, I see, seems I was mistaken all this while. Thanks lotusbluete for the clarification
 I will go there and have a look, but I guess it will be a problem for me as I don't have my own transport. Hmm.

Hallo Smint, have been numerous times in Macro here in Phuket, but never been asked at the entrance for any sort of card or daily pass. Just went shoping like LOTUS or Big C. Like many things in T/land, depends on who serves you at the moment.

haha nice one, I like the way you put it
Anyway, yes I visited Makro Chonburi and they do allow you to shop and purchase without a member card, they'll just give u a slip of paper which says day pass. But the security there is quite strict and they do not allow most bags in.. But yes, slightly different from Big C and such in a sense that they don't have other 'default' shops like MK or KFC around, just a mini food-court.. #34
